Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Sanderstead, warehouse clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 15% of Sanderstead's 3,008 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in CR2 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
Step 1
We read the dilapidations schedule first, because handing back swept and empty is a different job from simply removing your stock.
Step 2
Sell, return, donate, destroy or recycle recorded against each stock line before anything is loaded.
Step 3
Bay by bay from the far aisle back to the shutter, so the loading bay stays usable until the last day.
Step 4
Steel, card, plastics and general split at the point of loading, which is what keeps the gate cost and the recovery figure honest.
Step 5
Machine sweep, photographs of every bay and the transfer notes returned before the keys go back to the landlord.
Why choose us
We expect solid London stock brick in Sanderstead, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the reality on the streets around Sanderstead Pond and the Gruffy in CR2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in CR2, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Registered waste carrier with a transfer note per load, plus a certificate of destruction where branded or confidential stock is involved. Steel racking is weighed in as scrap and the credit shown on your invoice.
Four operatives with a 7.5t tail-lift vehicle on a standard unit, scaling to six with a second vehicle where the handover date is tight. Wide suburban roads and driveways; only the hill approaches are tight.
Seven to fourteen days for a full unit because racking, stock decisions and estate access have to be planned; a single-aisle or stock-only clear can usually be booked within the week. Sanderstead (Southern) is the nearest station, so a CR2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pallet and stock disposal, per pallet | £45 | 15–20 min | Priced per pallet because a warehouse measures its own waste that way, and it lets you clear obsolete stock in stages rather than all at once. |
| Racking dismantle and removal, per bay | £38 | 20–30 min | Beams and uprights come apart bay by bay; the rate assumes standard boltless racking under six metres with clear aisle access. |
| Mezzanine decking strip-out | £1,200 | 1–2 days | Boards, handrail and stair treads removed and lowered by hand, which is a working-at-height job with its own edge-protection plan. |
| Full unit clear, up to 10,000 sq ft | £2,400 | 2–3 days | Whole-unit handover including stock, racking, benching and the loading bay, priced against floor area and the aisle density. |
| Obsolete stock recycling, per load | £260 | 1–2 hrs | Mixed packaging, damaged goods and returns segregated for card, plastic and general rather than tipped as one mixed load. |
| Handover sweep and floor clean | £480 | 4–6 hrs | Dilapidations clauses ask for swept and empty, and a warehouse floor after racking removal is neither until it has been machine swept. |

Hannah and her friend were friendly and thoughtful. They were very professional and hard working. They also turned a junk room into a nice bedroom. I cannot thank them or praise them enough.
This was my second job for Hello services and I was delighted to have Adam and Sultan back again.
